HENRY G. LIEIBZEIT, OF Sl-IEBOYGAN FALLS, WISCONSIN.

OIL-SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR BURNERS.

Application filed July 24, 1915.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY G. LIEBZEIT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Sheboygan Falls, in the county of Sheboygan and State ofWisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Supply Systems for Burners, of which the following is a specification,reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in oil supply systems forburners; and an object of the invention is to provide a system of thisgeneral character having novel and improved means whereby a steadypressure is maintained on the oil and thus resulting in a steady flame.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in thecombination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved oilsupply system for burners whereby certain important advantages areattained and the device is rendered simpler, less expensive andotherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, all as will behereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of the invention will be carefully defined in theappended claim.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will nowproceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanyingdrawings, wherein the figure is a diagrammatic view, partly in elevationand partly in section, illustrating a system arranged in accordance withan embodiment of my invention.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, 1 denotes a tank for thestorage of compressed air of a pressure to 200 pounds test, and 2indicates an oil tank of the same test as the tank 1 and said tanks 1and 2 are in communication one with the other through the medium of theconduit 3, said conduit having interposed therein the reducing valve lwhereby a pressure may be maintained upon the oil within the tank 2 lessthan the pressure within the tank 1.

As herein embodied, air is adapted to be stored within the tank 1 undera pressure of substantially 200 pounds, said air being delivered withinthe tank 1 under the influence of the compression pump 5 which may be ofany desired type and the valve 4 is adapted to be regulated so as tomaintain the pressure of the air delivered within the Specification ofLetters Patent.

Serial No. 41,721.

tank 2 at a point between 70 and 80 pounds whereby it will be perceivedthat a steady pressure on the oil within the tank 2 is assured whichwill result in a steady flame at the burner 6 in communication with thetank 2 through the conduit 7 The burner 6, as herein embodied, isconstructed in accordance with the burner described and claimed in myPatent, No. 1,129,212, dated Feb. 23, 1915.

The conduit 3 at a point intermediate the tank 1 and the reduced valve4E has in communication therewith the gage 8 whereby the pressure withinthe tank may be readily determined and in communication with the conduit3 intermediate the tank 2 and the valve 4 is a second gage 9 whereby thepressure upon the oil may be readily ascertained. The conduit 3 has alsointerposed therein at a point intermediate the tank 1 and the valve 4: acut-off 10 whereby the pressure of the air within the tank 2 may beshutoff when said tank 2 is being filled and the conduit or pipe 7 hasthe valve 11 interposed therein, for a purpose which is believed to beself-evident. The conduit 3 has also interposed therein and at a pointbetween the valve 4: and the gage 9 a check valve 12 operating toprevent return flow of the air to the tank 1.

From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that an oilsupply system for burners constructed in accordance with my invention isof an extremely simple and comparatively inexpensive nature and isparticularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience andfacility with which it may be assembled, and it will also be obviousthat my invention is susceptible of some change and modification withoutmaterial departure from the principles and spirit thereof and for thisreason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precisearrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carryingout my invention in practice.

I claim:

In combination, an oil tank, an air tank in communication therewith andadapted to contain air under pressure, a reducing valve interposed inthe connection between the tanks, a burner, a connection between theburner and the oil tank, a gage interposed in the connection between thereducing valve and the air tank, a second gage interposed in Intestimony whereof I hereunto aflix my the; connectiorifbetiveen the oiltank rindfithe signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
